Summary
A 16-year-old who had COVID four or five times began feeling unwell after his most recent infection in March 2025, and said his symptoms had grown progressively worse over the following year. Attending school left him exhausted, drained and in pain for the next two to three days. Adderall sometimes eased his symptoms but left him worse the next day, and he was unsure whether his symptoms warranted investigation.
